NOTE 

The  Museum  wishes  to  express  its  appreciation  to  Mr. 
Francis  H.  Bigelow,  of  Cambridge,  whose  untiring  efforts  for 
the  past  two  years  have  made  this  exhibition  possible;  to 
Mr.  George  H.  Martin,  whose  early  cooperation  secured  the 
loan  of  the  silver  belonging  to  the  First  Church  of  Christ  in 
Lynn ;  to  the  other  churches  who  have  responded  so  readily 
to  the  Museum's  appeal;  to  the  lenders  of  domestic  silver; 
to  Mr.  George  M.  Curtis,  of  Meriden,  Conn.,  for  his  intro- 
duction on  Connecticut  silversmiths  and  for  the  names  of 
many  Connecticut  makers;  and  to  Mr.  John  Ware  Willard, 
of  Brookline,  whose  search  among  the  old  records  of  Massa- 
chusetts has  brought  to  light  many  new  names  and  verified 
doubtful  dates. 

Through  the  courtesy  of  the  Metropolitan  Museum  and 
Mr.  John  H.  Buck  of  New  York,  additional  names  and  dates 
have  been  added  to  the  list  of  makers  from  the  Catalogue  of 
the  Hudson-Fulton  Exhibition  and  from  *'01d  Plate.*'  Dr. 
Edwin  Barber,  of  the  Pennsylvania  Museum,  has  also  furnished 
data  on  the  Pennsylvania  silversmiths.

INTRO  DUCTION 

EARLY  SILVERSMITHS  OF  CONNECTICUT 

The  greater  part  of  the  early  silver  found  in  Connecticut, 
either  church  or  domestic,  was  made  by  the  silversmiths  of 
Boston  and  New  York.  This  was  but  natural,  for  Con- 
necticut had  no  large  commercial  ports  where  merchants 
grew  rich  through  foreign  trade  and  accumulated  large 
surplus  funds  to  invest  in  such  luxuries  as  the  productions  of 
the  silversmith's  art. 

The  population  of  the  colony  was  almost  wholly  interested 
in  agriculture  and  wealth  was  quite  equally  distributed.  No 
one  was  very  rich  and  no  one  very  poor.  Even  New  Haven, 
its  largest  town,  the  seat  of  a  college,  and  in  a  limited 
way  a  commercial  port,  was  distinctly  a  farming  community. 
This  was  due  to  its  geographical  position,  for  no  town  in 
New  England  had  been  settled  under  fairer  commercial 
prospects  or  with  greater  financial  resources. 

In  one  respect  the  conditions  in  Connecticut  one  hundred 
and  fifty  years  ago  were  not  so  different  from  those  of  to-day. 
If  a  man  of  means  desired  to  purchase  an  article  of  excep- 
tional quality  and  worth,  he  was  apt  to  patronize  the  mer- 
chants and  craftsmen  of  those  far-away  cities,  Boston  and 
New  York,  where  the  styles  were  sure  to  be  of  the  latest 
fashion  and  the  workmanship  of  unusual  merit;  while  a  man 
of  slender  resources  depended  on  nearby  shopkeepers  and 
artisans. 

Connecticut  had  silversmiths  and  a  number  of  them  did 


vi  INTRODUCTION 

most  creditable  work  when  occasion  demanded,  although, 
owing  to  the  influence  just  stated,  their  products  seem  to 
have  been  distributed  almost  wholly  in  their  own  localities, — 
one  might  indeed  say  among  their  fellow  townsmen.  One 
never  finds  in  Hartford  the  work  of  a  New  Haven  smith, 
or  in  New  Haven  the  product  of  a  man  who  was  work- 
ing in  New  London,  except  when  recent  migration  has 
carried  the  ware  from  home.  As  a  result,  these  silversmiths, 
in  order  to  eke  out  a  living  in  communities  that  were  not 
lavish  in  accumulating  their  work,  were  obliged  to  turn  their 
attention  to  various  other  trades.  Some  were  clock  and  cabi- 
net makers,  others  were  blacksmiths  and  innkeepers,  and 
some  were  undoubtedly,  to  use  a  homely  phrase,  jacks 
of  all  trades.  Many  of  them  advertised  extensively  in  the 
weekly  press,  and  these  appeals  for  custom  vividly  illuminate 
the  social  and  domestic  demands  and  requirements  of  their 
patrons,  and  present  striking  pictures  of  the  times. 

Undoubtedly  the  gold  and  silversmith  shops  were  small 
affairs,  with  no  cellars  or  substantial  foundations,  being 
similar  in  that  respect  to  those  of  blacksmiths.  They  were 
frequently  built  on  leased  or  rented  land  and  could  with  little 
difficulty  be  moved  to  other  sites.  When  Capt.  Robert  Fair- 
child,  of  Stratford,  sold  his  homestead  in  1768,  he  reserved 
the  right  to  remove  from  the  premises  a  goldsmith's  shop. 
Such  reservations  were  not  unusual. 

The  writer  well  remembers  a  visit  in  1875  to  the  smithy 
of  one  of  these  artisans  in  East  Hartford.  There,  busily 
engaged,  was  an  old  man  forging  spoons  for  a  Hartford 
jeweler.  The  building  could  not  have  been  more  than  fifteen 
by  thirty  feet,  and  yet  there  was  ample  room  for  every 
emergency.     The  smith  had  learned  the  trade  just   as  his 


AMERICAN  CHURCH  SILVER  vii 

predecessors  of  earlier  days  had  done,  and  perhaps  was  the 
last  of  the  fraternity.  Let  no  one  fancy  them  as  other  than 
men  of  might,  for  muscle  and  sinew  were  as  needful  in 
fashioning  plate  as  in  the  trade  of  blacksmithing. 

The  earliest  silversmith  in  Connecticut  of  whom  record 
has  been  found  was  Job  Prince,  of  Milford.  Few  facts  relat- 
ing to  him  have  been  discovered  and  these  indicate  that  he 
was  born  in  Hull,  Massachusetts,  in  1680.  He  died  appar- 
ently in  1703,  for  the  inventory  of  his  estate  is  on  file  in 
the  Probate  Court,  New  Haven,  dated  January  24,  1703/4. 
The  list  includes:  a  set  of  silversmith's  tools,  a  pair  of  small 
bellows,  a  pair  of  silver  buckles,  a  tobacco  box,  a  silver 
tankard,  a  porringer,  and  six  spoons.  The  Princes  were 
evidently  a  seafaring  family  and  even  Job  owned  a  Gunter's 
scale,  a  compass,  and  a  book  on  practical  navigation. 

The  next  silversmith  in  Connecticut,  so  far  as  known, 
was  Rene  Grignon,  a  Huguenot,  who  had  lived  in  several 
parts  of  New  England  and  finally  settled  in  Norwich,  probably 
before  1708.  He  became  a  man  of  considerable  importance 
during  his  short  residence  and,  judging  by  the  two  pieces 
of  silver  still  extant  which  it  is  safe  to  ascribe  to  him,  was 
a  good  craftsman.  He  stamped  his  work  with  the  letters 
"  R.  G.,"  crowned,  a  stag  (?)  passant  below,  in  a  shaped 
shield.  He  died  in  1715  and  his  inventory  contained  the 
usual  stock  in  trade  of  a  gold  and  silversmith.  His  tools  he 
left  to  his  apprentice,  Daniel  Deshon,  also  a  Huguenot,  who 
was  afterwards  a  silversmith  in  New  London. 

Next  in  chronological  order  was  Cornelius  Kierstead,  a 
Dutchman  by  descent,  baptized  in  New  York  in  1675.  He 
followed  his  trade  in  that  city  until  about  1722,  when  he 
appeared   in  New  Haven  with   two  other   Dutchmen,  and 


viii  INTRODUCTION 

leased  lands  in  the  Blue  Hills  district  (now  Mt.  Carmel)  and 
in  Wallingford,  for  the  purpose  of  mining  copper.  They 
were  not  the  first  men  to  search  for  the  red  metal  in  that 
region.  It  is  perhaps  needless  to  say  that  the  venture  was  not 
successful,  but  the  incident  apparently  settled  Kierstead  as  a 
permanent  resident  of  New  Haven.  On  the  map  of  the  town, 
made  in  1724,  his  home  is  indicated  as  being  on  the  west  side 
of  Church  Street,  a  short  distance  below  Wall  Street.  He 
was  still  living  in  New  Haven  in  1753,  for  in  that  year  the 
selectmen  appointed  a  conservator  to  see  that  he  did  not  waste 
his  property.  In  a  few  Connecticut  churches  we  find  examples 
of  his  work,  —  a  caudle  cup  in  the  Congregational  Church, 
North  Haven;  a  baptismal  basin  and  a  two-handled  beaker, 
dated  respectively  1731  and  1726,  in  the  First  Congregational 
Church,  Milford;  and  a  tankard  belonging  to  Trinity  Epis- 
copal Church,  New  Haven. 

John  Potwine,  who  was  born  in  Boston  in  1698,  followed 
his  trade  there  until  about  1737,  when  he  moved  to  Hartford. 
For  a  time  he  seems  to  have  continued  as  a  silversmith,  for 
three  beakers  made  by  him  are  owned  by  the  Congregational 
Church,  Durham,  and  two  by  the  Congregational  Church, 
South  Windsor.  He  was  apparently  for  a  while  in  partner- 
ship with  a  man  named  Whiting,  and  later  he  was  a  mer- 
chant in  Coventry  and  East  Windsor,  dying  in  the  latter  place 
in  1792. 

Shortly  after  the  advent  of  Potwine,  appeared  another  silver- 
smith not  of  Connecticut  lineage,  Pierre  or  Peter  Quintard, 
who  was  of  Huguenot  extraction  and  was  probably  born  in 
New  York.  He  was  registered  there  as  a  freeman  in  1731. 
In  1737  he  came  to  Norwalk,  bought  several  pieces  of  real 
estate  and  purchased  a  house  lot  in  that  part  of  the  town  now 


AMERICAN  CHURCH   SILVER  ix 

known  as  South  Norwalk.  There  he  apparently  passed  the 
rest  of  his  Ufe.  Two  pieces  of  silver  have  been  found  made 
by  him, —  a  tankard  with  flat  lid  and  serrated  edge,  loaned  to 
the  Hudson-Fulton  Exhibition  at  the  Metropolitan  Museum, 
New  York,  in  1909;  and  a  caudle  cup,  owned  by  the  First 
Congregational  Church,  Stamford. 

New  Haven,  the  richest  town  in  the  colony,  seems  to 
have  been  a  center  of  silversmithing.  On  the  map  of  1748 
the  shop  of  Timothy  Bontecou  is  located  on  the  west  side  of 
Fleet  Street,  which  ran  from  State  Street  to  the  wharf.  He 
was  born  in  New  York  in  1693  (the  son  of  Pierre,  a  Huguenot 
refugee,  who  had  learned  his  trade  in  France)  and  is  known 
to  have  been  living  in  New  Haven  as  early  as  1735.  He  was 
the  victim  of  an  outrage  by  a  mob  of  British  soldiers  at  the 
time  of  the  invasion  in  1779,  and  died  in  1784. 

From  1770  to  1800  the  junction  of  Church  and  Chapel 
Streets  was  a  favorite  stand  for  silversmiths.  On  the  southwest 
corner  were  located  the  following  men,  in  the  order  named : 
Capt.  Robert  Fairchild,  Abel  Buell,  and  Ebenezer  Chittenden. 

Captain  Fairchild  was  born  in  Stratford  in  1703.  Shortly 
afterwards  the  family  moved  to  Durham  and  there  the 
young  man  first  followed  his  trade.  He  became  prominent, 
representing  the  town  in  the  General  Assembly  from  1739  to 
1745;  was  an  auditor  of  the  colony  in  1740;  and  received  the 
title  of  Captain  in  1745.  He  removed  to  Stratford  about 
1747,  and  in  1772  to  New  Haven,  and  when  a  very  old 
man  to  New  York,  where  he  died  in  1794.  It  is  probable 
that  while  in  Stratford,  John  Benjamin  (1730-1796)  was  his 
apprentice.  He  was  certainly  a  silversmith,  but,  so  far  as 
known,  only  one  example  of  his  metal  work  survives, — 
the  brass  weathercock  capping  the  spire  of  the   Episcopal 


3C  INTRODUCTION 

Church,  which  was  used  as  a  target  by  a  battaUon  of  British 
soldiers  quartered  in  Stratford  during  the  winter  of  1757-58. 
Of  Fairchild's  work  there  are  still  extant  the  alms  plate  in 
Trinity  Church,  New  Haven ;  a  beaker  in  the  Congregational 
Church,  Durham ;  and  two  tankards,  one  the  property  of  the 
Congregational  Church,  Green's  Farms,  the  other  of  the 
Congregational  Church,  Greenfield  Hill.  Privately  owned, 
by  persons  of  Stratford  antecedents,  are  a  huge  serving  spoon, 
two  braziers  and  many  teaspoons. 

Abel  Buell,  whose  home  lot,  with  shop  upon  it,  was  next 
on  the  west  to  that  of  Robert  Fairchild  and  separated  from  it 
by  a  narrow  lane  now  known  as  Gregson  Street,  was  a  man  of 
singular  versatility  and  inventive  genius.  He  was  born  in 
1742  in  that  part  of  Killingworth  now  known  as  Clinton. 
He  learned  his  trade  of  Ebenezer  Chittenden  in  Madison. 
Before  he  had  attained  his  majority  he  was  convicted  of 
counterfeiting,  and  confined  in  Norwich  jail.  On  account  of 
his  youth  he  was  soon  released,  but  to  the  day  of  his  death  he 
bore  the  scars  of  cropped  ear  and  branded  forehead.  Like 
other  Connecticut  silversmiths,  his  activities  were  not  confined 
to  his  trade.  He  established  a  public  vendue  or  auction  room, 
ran  a  type  foundry,  was  the  coiner  of  the  first  authorized  Con- 
necticut coppers,  established  a  cotton  manufactory,  invented 
a  machine  for  grinding  and  polishing  precious  stones,  and 
was  an  engraver  of  maps  and  bookplates.  His  roving  dispo- 
sition carried  him  to  various  parts  of  the  world,  and,  like 
other  rolling  stones,  he  gathered  no  moss,  but  died  in  great 
poverty  about  1825.  His  work  as  a  silversmith  is  represented 
by  five  two-handled  cups  in  the  North  Haven  Congregational 
Church  and  a  few  pieces  privately  owned. 

Just  west  of   Buell's  stand  were  the  house  and  shop  of

Ebenezer  Chittenden.  He  was  born  in  Madison  in  1726 
and  for  a  number  of  years  worked  at  his  trade  in  that  place, 
removing  to  New  Haven  about  1770  possibly  in  company 
with  his  son-in-law  and  apprentice,  Abel  Buell.  Thirteen 
beakers  and  a  flagon  seventeen  and  a  quarter  inches  high, 
made  by  him,  have  been  located  in  Connecticut  churches. 
Chittenden  was  a  man  of  excellent  connections.  He  was 
a  son  of  the  sister  of  the  famous  Rev.  Dr.  Samuel  Johnson, 
first  president  of  King's,  now  Columbia,  College,  New  York, 
and  his  brother  Thomas  became  the  first  governor  of  Vermont. 
For  a  number  of  years  he  was  either  warden  or  vestryman  of 
Trinity  Church,  New  Haven.     He  died  in  1812. 

On  the  southeast  corner  of  Church  and  Chapel  Streets  was 
the  shop  of  Richard  Cutler.  He  was  born  in  Fairfield  in 
1736,  came  to  New  Haven  in  1760  and  opened  a  shop  where 
he  continued  in  business  until  his  death  in  1810. 

The  brothers,  Capt.  Phineas  (1745-1797)  and  Col.  Aner 
Bradley  (1753-1824)  were  also  early  silversmiths  in  New 
Haven.  Each  gained  his  title  in  the  Revolutionary  War. 
Phineas  had  his  home  and  shop  on  Court  Street,  but  Aner, 
shortly  after  the  war,  settled  in  Watertown.  Both  were  skilled 
workmen,  and  a  number  of  articles  bearing  their  marks  are 
still  in  existence. 

Silas  Merriman  (1734-1805)  and  his  son  Marcus  (1762-  ) 
were  natives  of  Cheshire,  but  the  father  had  established 
himself  in  New  Haven  before  1772.  Marcus  was  a  soldier 
in  the  Revolution  and  was  at  one  time  in  the  company  of 
Capt.  Phineas  Bradley.  The  shops  of  father  and  son  were 
located  on  State  Street,  and  the  latter  did  an  extensive  business 
for  the  times.  Thirteen  of  his  beakers  have  been  located 
in  Connecticut  churches  and  his  spoons  are  frequently  found 


xii  INTRODUCTION 

in  New  Haven  County.  He  formed  partnerships  with 
Bethuel  Tuttle  and  Zebul  Bradley,  the  firms  being  known  as 
Marcus  Merriman  &  Co.,  Merriman  &  Tuttle,  and  Merri- 
man  &  Bradley.  Marcus  was  still  living  in  New  Haven  in 
1840,  when  he  was  reported  as  a  pensioner  of  the  Revolution 
at  the  age  of  seventy-eight. 

Amos  Doolittle  was  born  in  Cheshire  in  1754  and  learned 
the  trade  of  a  silversmith,  but  it  is  probable  that  he  soon  de- 
voted all  his  time  to  engraving  after  moving  to  New  Haven 
about  1775.  His  advertisements  in  the  New  Haven  news- 
papers are  numerous  and  interesting. 

Miles  Gorham  (1757-1847)  and  his  cousin  John  were 
active  and  enterprising  silversmiths,  and  to  the  former  must 
be  credited  four  chalices  with  short  stems  in  the  Derby  Con- 
gregational Church.  The  names  of  both  are  sometimes  found 
on  spoons  in  New  Haven  County.  There  were,  of  course, 
a  number  of  other  silversmiths  in  New  Haven  of  later  date 
and  lesser  importance. 

Hartford  does  not  seem  to  have  been  as  prominent  a  center 
in  the  trade  as  New  Haven.  Of  the  craftsmen  there,  perhaps 
the  most  important,  after  Potwine's  day,  was  Col.  Miles  Beach 
who  was  born  in  Goshen  in  1742,  and  for  a  number  of  years 
was  a  silversmith  in  Litchfield  where  he  seems  to  have  been 
prominent  in  many  ways.  He  moved  to  Hartford  in  1785, 
and  was  there  in  partnership  with  Isaac  Sanford  until  1788. 
From  1789  to  1797  he  was  in  business  with  James  Ward. 
He  died  in  1828.  There  are  four  interesting  chalices,  dated 
1794,  bearing  his  mark,  in  the  Kensington  Congregational 
Church,  Berlin.  Spoons  marked  with  his  name,  **B.  &  S." 
and  **  B.  &  W.**  are  not  uncommon  in  Hartford  County. 

James   Ward  (1768-1856),   who  was   born   in   Guilford, 


AMERICAN  CHURCH   SILVER  xiii 

learned  his  trade  of  Colonel  Beach.  He  was  prominent  and  in- 
fluential, and  was  later  in  business  with  Roswell  Bartholomew 
(1781-1830)  and  Charles  Brainard.  Silver  marked  with  the 
names  of  these  firms  has  been  found  in  a  number  of  places. 

Other  silversmiths  in  Hartford  in  the  latter  half  of  the 
eighteenth  and  early  nineteenth  centuries  were  James  Tilley 
(1740-1792),  Jacob  Sargeant  (1761-1843),  and  Enos  Doolittle. 
The  last  two  also  advertised  as  clockmakers. 

Guilford  was  the  home  of  two  excellent  silversmiths, 
namely.  Billions  Ward  (1729-1777)  and  Capt.  Samuel  Parmelee 
(1737-1807).  Two  patens,  five  beakers,  and  many  spoons 
marked  *'B.  W."  have  been  found  in  Connecticut,  and 
were  doubtless  made  by  Ward.  James  Ward,  the  Hartford 
silversmith,  was  his  son. 

In  the  Congregational  Church,  Guilford,  are  a  massive 
baptismal  basin  and  a  beaker  marked  "  S.  Parmelee."  Spoons 
so  marked,  or  "S.  P.,"  are  not  uncommon  in  that  vicinity. 
Captain  Parmelee  was  a  prominent  man  in  Guilford.  He 
received  his  title  in  1775,  and  saw  active  service  in  the 
Revolution. 

Major  Jonathan  Otis,  of  Newport,  R.  I.,  was  a  skilled 
craftsman.  When  the  British  occupied  the  town  in  1776,  he 
moved  to  Middletown  where  he  died  in  1791.  Twelve  of 
his  cups  have  been  found  in  Connecticut  churches. 

Samuel  Buell,  Middletown  1777,  and  Hartford  1779,  was 
a  good  workman,  judging  by  the  beaker  marked  **S.  B.," 
belonging  to  the  Center  Congregational  Church,  Meriden. 

Other  silversmiths  in  Middletown  of  lesser  importance 
were,  Judah  Hart,  Charles  Brewer,  Samuel  Canfield,  Joseph 
King,  and  William  Johonnot,  who  were  mostly  occupied  in 
making  spoons  and  the  quaint  jewelry  of  the  period. 


xiv  INTRODUCTION 

Norwich  was  an  important  and  wealthy  town  in  the  eigh- 
teenth and  early  nineteenth  centuries  and  had  a  number  of 
skilful  workmen.  Perhaps  the  most  important  was  Thomas 
Harland  who  was  born  in  England  in  1735,  and  came  to 
Norwich  in  1773,  where  he  died  in  1809.  In  addition  to  the 
trade  of  silversmithing,  he  was  an  expert  watch  and  clock 
maker.  In  1790,  he  had  twelve  workmen  in  his  employ, 
his  annual  output  being  two  hundred  watches  and  forty  clocks. 
He  also  produced  quantities  of  jewelry  which  is  described  in 
his  advertisements  as  **  brilliant,  garnet  and  plain  gold  rings, 
broaches,  hair  sprigs,  ear  jewels,  and  gold  and  silver  buttons.'* 
His  assortment  of  plate  consisted  of  **  teapots,  sugar  baskets, 
creamieures,  tea  tongs  and  spoons." 

Among  his  apprentices,  afterwards  in  business  in  Norwich, 
were  Nathaniel  Shipman  (1764-1853) ;  and  William  Cleveland 
(1770-1837)  grandfather  of  President  Grover  Cleveland. 

Joseph  Carpenter  (1747-1804)  was  an  enterprising  silver- 
smith whose  shop  still  stands  fronting  on  the  old  town  green. 
In  it  was  lately  found  an  engraved  copper  plate  from  which 
his  business  cards  were  printed.  His  name  is  surrounded  with 
a  graceful  grouping  of  silver  tea  set,  cake  basket,  mugs,  spoons, 
tongs,  buckles,  watches,  rings,  a  clock,  and  a  knife  box, 
illustrating  the  articles  in  which  he  dealt.  At  the  top 
appear  the  words,  "Arts  and  Sciences,"  on  a  ribbon  scroll, 
while  cherubs  supported  on  clouds  hover  above  these 
treasures. 

Other  silversmiths  in  Norwich  were  William  Adgate 
(1744-1779);  Philip  Huntington  (1770-1825);  Roswell 
Huntington  (1763-  );  Capt.  Charles  Whiting  (1725- 
1765);  and  David  Greenleaf  (1737-1800). 

New  London,  another  enterprising  town,  had  its  quota  of 


AMERICAN  CHURCH   SILVER  xv 

silversmiths,  John  Gray  (1692-1720);  Samuel  Gray  (1684- 
1713) ;  John  Hallam,  in  the  latter  half  of  the  eighteenth  cen- 
tury, who  engraved  the  plates  for  the  bills  of  credit  issued  by 
the  colony  in  1775;  Daniel  Deshon  0697-1781) ;  John  Gard- 
ner ( 1734-1776)  who  made  the  graceful  cup  once  owned  by  St. 
James*s  Episcopal  Church,  New  London,  and  now  in  posses- 
sion of  Berkeley  Divinity  School,  Middletown, — a  tankard 
once  owned  in  Lyme  but  now  in  New  Britain,  dated  1773, — 
and  spoons,  marked  **L  G.,'*  in  New  London  and  Norwich; 
John  Champlin  whose  shop  was  destroyed  by  the  British  in 
1781;  Jonathan  Trott  (1730-1815)  who  was  born  in  Boston 
and  followed  his  profession  there  until  1772,  when  he  moved 
to  Norwich,  and  shortly  afterwards  to  New  London,  where 
he  doubtless  worked  at  his  trade;  and  his  sons  Jonathan 
Trott,  Jr.  (1771-1813)  who  advertised  to  some  extent,  and 
John  Proctor  Trott  (1769-1852)  who  did  quite  an  extensive 
business  for  the  times.  Much  plate,  both  hollow  and  flat, 
has  been  found  marked  **J.  P.  T."  For  a  brief  period, 
about  1792,  he  and  William  Cleveland  were  in  partnership 
in  New  London. 

Other  silversmiths  in  New  London  County  were  two  men 
from  Preston — John  Avery  (1732-1794),  who,  judging  by  the 
inventory  of  his  estate,  must  have  been  of  considerable  im- 
portance ;  and  Daniel  Billings.  Working  in  Stonington  were 
Zebulon  Stanton  (1753-1828);  Daniel  Stanton  (1755-1781) 
and  Enoch  Stanton  (1745-1781),  the  latter  two  perishing  at 
the  defense  of  Fort  Griswold  in  Groton. 

It  is,  of  course,  impossible  to  include  in  a  sketch  of  this 
nature,  the  names  of  all  the  men  who  worked  in  Connecticut, 
but  it  would  be  unfair  to  omit  Hervey  Sadd  (1776-1840),  of 
New  Hartford,  who  left  many  examples  of  his  work  in  the

western  part  of  the  State ;  Daniel  Burnap,  of  East  Windsor, 
one  of  the  most  expert  clockmakers  that  this  State  has  ever 
produced,  who  yet  had  time  to  make  silver  spoons;  Abel 
Brewster,  of  Canterbury,  whose  work  is  found  in  Windham 
and  New  London  Counties;  and  Barzillai  Benjamin  (1774- 
1844),  of  Bridgeport,  examples  of  whose  work  are  found  in 
Fairfield  County.
